Music Research

In our film we are planning to add our own non-digetic sound into the film scenes, this will be our own production so it will be non-copyright, however we have gained several inspirations from non-digetic sound from TV and film, such as Luther and Seven:

In this scene luther is getting DNA of a suspect, by hitting him in the face and taking blood from his face. The non-digetic sound is a very dramatic, and leads to a build up in tension, this helps build to the surprise at what luther does because the audience wouldn't be expecting him to be hitting people in the middle of the street. The music itself is very common in this series as there is a lot of tension within many of the scenes.

In the end scene to se7en, the music is slow and builds up to the discovery of the severed head, this helps build to the eventual shooting, the non-digetic sound is also very effective in building up the idea that Kevin Spacey's character is a psychopath, with the use of screeching instruments, helps build tension in the scene, as well as that the drum beat at the end helps add to the tension because the audience doesn't know what is going to happen.

This is the famous 24 timer countdown, the iconic sound builds significant tension between cuts in scenes, but it also does several other things effectively, for instance they also act as a way of indicating to the audience that there is a change of time and scene, allowing the audience to know that there is a different location or the scene has skipped ahead in time. It can also add tension to the scene if there is a fight or bomb threat inside the actual scene.
